Chapter 1288 Time Flies, Getting Old Easily

Before Liliatta could reply, Roas, who was standing in front of him, took a deep breath and gave him a standard military salute.

Although Tang Fang did not directly help the Silver Eagles, his military actions on the Sokanada defense line indirectly contributed to the withdrawal of the Phoenix Empire's surprise attack fleet, because Prince Kursk was afraid that his precious Shadow Ranger would end up in the same fate as the Deep Diver fleet. .

There is no doubt that this has helped the Silver Eagle Group a lot.

A month ago, the new detection device developed by the Star Alliance through research on the warships of the deep diver fleet also arrived at the Silver Eagle Group and began deployment operations.

As we all know, the Star Alliance was able to develop this new type of detector, thanks to Egg Stetman, and Egg Stetman is one of the core members of the Morning Star Foundry.

Just like what Ralph said, Royas is a devout Catholic, and his views on everything in the world have a kind heart that is different from the utilitarian mind of ordinary people. He wants what Delma can't think of, and what Walder can't think of. He wants it.

Looking at the man who was slightly shorter than him opposite him, he could read the other person's thoughts from those black eyes. Tang Fang surrendered, not because he was afraid of revealing his identity, but because he didn't want to hurt his feelings, didn't want to desecrate those beautiful things, and didn't want to shake his will.

The soul of the man in front of him is as dazzling as the sun's rays and as holy as an angel.

"Meeting you here...is the most glorious moment in my life."

Rojas believes that the best moment in his life is the moment when he waits for the rescue team with those wounded and everyone weeps with joy. Now... is the most glorious moment of his life.

He originally thought that when he received the honor from the First Consul and received the Silver Eagle Medal, that should be the most glorious moment in his life. Facts have proved that this idea was wrong, and it was outrageously wrong. In the Clavi star system, in a room in Dimer City, seeing this person with an extraordinary soul was his most glorious moment.

The expression on Ralph's face could no longer be described as "wonderful", but "complex".

It turned out that the person who defeated his students one by one was Captain Tang Fangtang of the Star Alliance... No wonder Juventus lost so quickly and so badly, no wonder Del Mar lost so thoroughly and without any suspense.

And Royas, and Walder... and himself...

Lost, completely lost... However, the strange thing is that at this moment, there is not much anger and frustration in his heart, he is very calm, but also very excited. These are two contradictory words, but they appear in him in unity of opposites.

The calm is about losing the game, and the excitement... is about something else.

"I lost." He looked at Liliatta and said, "I will keep my promise and stop meddling in the affairs here."

Then he looked at Doris again: "For so many years... I was wrong... I'm sorry."

Doris said: "It's her and her mother that you should say sorry, not me."

Ralph sighed, looked at Liliatta again, looked at the familiar outline of that face, eyes that could bring back distant memories, wanted to reach out to touch that face, but stopped halfway, and chose to give up.

"I'm no longer serving in the military, and now I'm just a theoretical instructor at the Demer Military Academy...I'm sorry, it took so many years to fulfill my original promise."

Liliatta tried to keep her voice calm: "You should go to Lena's grave and say this."

"I'm sorry... for not fulfilling my father's responsibilities over the years."

When Ralph said the first sentence of apology, Tang Fangfang already felt that something was wrong, as if... It deviated from his expectations, not by a little, but by a long, long way.

When he heard the second sentence, his eyes suddenly turned into two copper bells, and he thought, "Hey, hey, hey... what are you kidding, Ralph... is... Liliatta... Liliatta's father? "

On the opposite side, Liliata remained silent, neither accepting his apology nor forgiving his actions.

It seems that there is an insurmountable gap and distance for this father who has a prominent status.

"You have really grown up, and you are no longer the little girl who just looked at each other coldly. I am really relieved to see that you take good care of yourself. Even in the choice of fiancé, my father Yes, I can no longer give you better advice and choices. My daughter... I am proud of you."

After saying this, he turned his head and swept Tang Fang's face, and continued: "If possible, I hope to be the father of the woman at your wedding...the only thing I can do for you is this."

She looked at him and listened to what he said. This was the first time she saw Ralph's lack of vigor, lack of seriousness, and no longer cold face, which was very different from the cold and hard face she saw when she left the Silver Eagle Group 10 years ago. He was completely different from him in the past, which made her doubt many scenes in her memory.

Is the Ralph in front of you the same person as the Ralph in the past?

For his military career, for his career, and for his motherland, he abandoned his wife and daughter, and failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and father.

In her impression, he was a stubborn, ruthless, cold, iron-blooded, and taciturn man. But the person who appears in front of us today, the man who can be called father by blood, like so many old people who have entered their twilight years, will worry about their children's marriage, will be picky about the character of their son-in-law, and will lament in front of others how old the years are. Shuo, the age is easy to grow old...

He wants to be a soldier who puts national interests first, and she wants to be a pirate who indulges herself. He wants her to be a female general, but she wants to be a big sister. He wants her to always think that she is a Yinying person, and she just wants to marry Chongyang and be a foreigner's wife.

She has been fighting against him all her life. This is her struggle and her revenge against her mother.

However, today, looking at his aging face and listening to his voice that is no longer determined, I suddenly feel a sour feeling. There is no joy and exhilaration as imagined, no excitement and relief as expected, only a touch of melancholy, deep sadness, and lingering pain.

It seems... It seems that her resistance and resentment, as well as the past life derived from it, have become meaningless.

He's changed, not the same Ralph he used to be. How should she face him? Facing the most resentful and angry man in your heart, but also the most important man in your life?

This small living room seemed to be a wide and deserted intersection, with no pedestrians to be seen, and no traffic lights to guide it. She stood in the middle of the intersection, not knowing where to go.

Doris sighed, she is the one who knows everything, and the one who can best understand Lilietta's feelings. Because since the mother passed away, the girl has been living with her.

She watched her grow up in rebellion day by day, she watched her resolutely leave here and embark on a path of deformed resistance, but she was helpless, helpless, and inaction.

From this point of view, Liliatta is really similar to Ralph.

Wald, Delmar, and the others knew about the relationship between Ralph, Doris, and Liliatta early on, and they didn't reveal too complicated personal emotions. Tang Fang was completely different. Although he had doubts about the relationship between Ralph, Doris, and Lilietta early in the morning, and he was also puzzled by the four competitions that the other party had just conducted, he had no time to calm down and think about it. Now that I heard about the father-daughter relationship between Ralph and Lilietta, and pondered their stories, I became very confused.

And what about Ralph's so-called "fiancé"? He... is he talking about himself?

The sudden enlightenment made him recall it all at once.

Wald's physical fitness test, Juventus's command power test, Del Mar's wealth test, Rojas's character test... Isn't this the test item that the mother-in-law uses to pick out the son-in-law?

It's really shameful that he pretends to be a smart person, but he hasn't noticed it all the time.

He tried to bear it, but he couldn't bear it no matter what, he walked out from behind the coffee table and came to Ralph, interrupting the depressive atmosphere that continued to ferment in the room: "Excuse me, the fiance you mentioned is...me? "

In a normal situation, it would be impolite to ask such a question, but at this moment, he no longer had the heart to worry about whether he should speak at this time, whether he should ask such a question.

Ralph changed his expression just now and looked at him with a smile: "You and them are the only young people in this room, and now you have defeated them one by one, proving with your strength that you are qualified to marry a woman from the Bryant family .” After finishing speaking, he patted him on the shoulder: “Good job, young man... I am proud to have a son-in-law like you.”

"Hehe...hehe..." He laughed dryly twice, but that smile was uglier than crying.

"Tang Fang, you idiot, look what you have done." Only he knew the pain in his heart.

He walked towards Liliatta and asked in a low voice: "You lied to me? What's going on! Not to say..." He pointed to the painting on the wall of the living room and said, "Not to say...everything is to keep that A picture?"

Doris showed a puzzled expression, looked at him, then looked at the painting, wondering what the "Battle of Anghiri" was about... Wait, could this guy recognize the true origin of that painting?

She looked at the young man in front of her with a horrified gaze, and the ocean in her heart stirred up a turbulent sea. In any case, he did not expect Captain Tang, as an Asian, to be able to see through "The Battle of Anjili". How could she not be shocked or surprised by such insight.

Tang Fang didn't know that his words made Doris's thoughts drift thousands of miles away, and he was waiting for Liliatta's reply.

The eldest sister was awakened by his question, blinked her pretty eyes, and said in a very serious tone: "I never said that this matter is related to the painting in the living room... I just said that in order to keep Doris the most precious It's me, you idiot." As she spoke, she pinched his face with her hand.

"According to the tradition of the Bryant family, now...you are my fiancé."

He looked up at the "Battle of Anjili" hanging on the wall of the living room, then looked at Liliatta's face, and suddenly remembered the scene that happened just now. Although the eldest sister faced the "Battle of Angeli" when she spoke, her words were indeed "to protect Doris' most precious property".

For Ms. Dai Lisi who has always been single, what is the most precious possession? It's not a painting, it's a person---Miss Liliatta.

At that time, Doris went to the kitchen to make tea. She was not in the living room and did not hear their conversation, so she didn't know about it. But the painting on the wall is an authentic work by Da Vinci, which is invaluable, but Miss Emma is there, and can recognize the origin of this painting, so he takes it for granted that "The Battle of Angeli" is Miss Doris most precious treasure.

Of course, even if he didn't recognize the origin of "Battle of Anjili". Liliatta is also capable enough to take him into the ditch, as long as he says "Look... how well this "Battle of Anghiri" is painted, Mr. Da Vinci is such a talented painter." He will naturally After further questioning, he also decided that Ralph came here to buy "The Battle of Angieri" forcibly.

As for why Ralph didn't show his feet, let him be aware of the strangeness in advance. I'm afraid Liliatta had already talked with his father before coming here, and made some arrangements. "

It seems that... only I was kept in the dark, and my eldest sister gave me a headache.

"You...you...you..." The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became.

There is no one in this world who forces someone to be a groom, and he didn't make her belly bigger, so he needs to be responsible for the unborn child.

At this moment, Liliatta took a step forward and whispered in his ear: "Don't panic, think about the whereabouts of Aros."

These words fell into his ears, as if someone had grabbed his throat with his hands, and those anger and unwillingness were forcibly suppressed.

He couldn't use force on her, and the eldest sister was holding information about Aros in her head. What else could he do besides shut up and admit it?

"According to the tradition of the Bryant family, the father has the right to marry his daughter, unless there is someone who is better than the marriage target and is willing to marry the woman. Although my relationship with my father is very stiff, no matter what... I am Brian A member of the Te family." Liliatta continued: "Don't show such a scary expression, you have not suffered. Don't worry, I will not force you, but I don't want him to use the marriage incident as an excuse to intervene in my life , to change my life, you can treat this as a play."

He thought about it seriously. Indeed, according to the living habits and social culture of Chinese civilization, it is Miss Liliatta who suffers in this matter, not him.

Of course, maybe those who don't like him will make a fuss about this matter, such as slandering him as a flirtatious, promiscuous swinger or something. But as long as the person he likes doesn't think so, those rumors are not as harmful to him as a bad fart.

If swearing and cursing could kill him, he would have died thousands of times already.

At this moment, Ralph noticed the small movements between the two, frowned and asked, "Why... is there a problem?"
